We will be covering that event and entering our own drift car. Actually we have been involved in the design of the new track...

BenHPI- by anychance is that Black GT-T in your avatar the same one that I have been following in HPI mag?

[Nizmo]

Russ as its only a training sess they may not be interested *shrugs* .... unfortunately perth lacks places to legally drift.

But Perth Auto Salon is coming up in October ...... quite a few cars are getting prepared for that at the moment .... ranging from R31 old schoolers to R34's.

As for my cars ..... if u need to borrow a Z31 turbo in good condition (yes there is such a thing ) u know where i am ..... Nizmo my R33 looks mean from the outside but otherwise inside n engine are stock

Keep up the good work with the mag

A great article would be on one of our trackday outings at Eastern Creek, we've been getting 10-20 cars a regular basis, from stock to monsters.

That would be a top idea for an article seen everything from a R34 GTR Nur to an R31 on these track days.

A frined of mine has a KE55 corolla coupe he has built to 95% the same spec as a JDM TE37 levin, including JDM tailights, bumpers, Black racing (rs-watanabe style) rims, interior, and a 2T-G with dual mikunis and a T-50 box. Its currently off the road with some drift damage being repaired and a 1.8 litre high comp bottom end and 256 cams going in, as well as front coilovers and some rear end mods. All it needs is the levin grill/lights. When I say same spec as a TE37, I really mean the same spec a young hashirya would have built his te37 to in the late 70's..

those pics are old though.

Theres also a guy here with a KE10 corolla coupe running a 4AGE 20V (might have a 7afe bottom end IIRC), which is also done up in a retro japanese street racer style (e.g japanese rego plates, old school wheels) .

I guess they aren't *totally* imports, but in both those cases there is really no "australian content" componentry left.

retro feature...

cheers,
